[Rlib-devel] RLIB 1.3.2 One more test release

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

All,

If you have a moment could you try out rlib 1.3.2 again

http://www.sicom.com/~bdoan/rlib-1.3.2.tar.gz

There are a bunch of fixes from the last time (Including a RPDF problem)

Documentation is included in the tarball and will build if you have
db2pdf on your system.

There are also about 10-15 possible crashes fixed as well.

Also the Python and JAVA bindings work again!  (PERL almost works)

let me know what you think

Re: [Rlib-users] Re: [Rlib-devel] BIG NEWS

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hi 

Thanks for the patch!

I applied the patch minus the "r->queries_count = 0;" because the struct
is bzero'd when its initialized.

It also motivated me to fix a few other crashing situations if the
actual query failed to run.

Curiosity question.  What would php compiler folks be doing w/ RLIB?

Hi Bob,

Congrats on the new PDF library, seems to work well so far. I just 
started using RLIB and I'm really impressed so far - thanks for your 
efforts on it.

On another note, I was experiencing a segfault which I tracked down to 
not passing a query to a report (via rlib_add_query_as) before running 
rlib_execute. I whipped up a patch (attached) that at least handles this 
a little more gracefully.

Thanks again,
Shannon

[Rlib-devel] RLIB Documentation

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Good News!

Mike Roth here @ SICOM is working on the RLIB Documentation.  

Now is an excellent time to share w/ the list examples or suggestions
for the documentation..

I know Carol has some.. did you have a chance to work on the official
documentation Carol?

[Rlib-devel] BIG NEWS

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hey all,

I have written a GPL'd PDF library for RLIB called RPDF.  It will now be
distributed w/ RLIB as the default PDF LIBRARY and CPDF is OFFICIAL
REMOVED FROM RLIB!!!

Bonuses: Don't have to worry about cpdf any more
RLIB is now 100% GPL'D

It may not be production ready yet.  It needs some testing.  If you have
a change could you try it and see if it works and report back 

download it here:

http://www.sicom.com/~bdoan/rlib-1.3.2.tar.gz

THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL 1.3.2 Release!!!! 

Please try it.. I want to know if it works for you all!

Thanks!

[Rlib-devel] RLIB 1.3.1 Released

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hey all,

I'm pleased to announce the official release of RLIB 1.3.1 (UNSTABLE).

The major changes are graphing support.

For examples see:

http://www.sicom.com/~bdoan/report.html
and http://www.sicom.com/~bdoan/report.pdf

In src/examples/php/ there is graphing.xml and graphing.php which show
you how to use it.

The graphing support is not quite yet complete as there are still a few
problems w/ y axis labeling and ticking.. but it works out nice a lot of
the time.

At this time I want to give a VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to Mike Ibison for
all of his help w/ graping support!  It would not have been possible w/
out his help!  (Mike doesn't work for SICOM so he did this on his own
time)

Once again!! Thanks Mike!

Get it from the usual place:

http://rlib.sicompos.com

Note RLIB requires gd > 2.0 form HTML images support Packages needed are
(gd, gd-devel, AND gd-progs)

There are a few more things to get done before RLIB 1.4 comes out:
	* Fix up python bindings
	* Fix up java bindings
	* Finish perl bindings
	* Windows Port
	* Graphing cleanup

All feedback is appreciated

[Rlib-devel] Apache Errors?

[Stephen T. <STe...@fc...>]

Hi,

I installed on Red Hat Fedora 2; no problems during install.  When I run the
PHP example nothing gets displayed, but my apache error log has:

[Wed Jan 19 13:43:04 2005] [notice] child pid 10995 exit signal Quit (3)

Any idea how to troubleshoot?

Thanks -
ST

Re: [Rlib-devel] Re: Rlib-devel digest, Vol 1 #26 - 3 msgs

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

I'm guessing that you didn't configure it with --prefix=/usr and you are
running a linux where /usr/local/lib is not in your /etc/ld.so.conf

reconfigure w/ the above and it will work

RLIB did find PHP and seemed to be happy with what it found.  But when

Do you need the PHP to work?  And did RLIB find php support when it
configured?

[Rlib-devel] Re: Rlib-devel digest, Vol 1 #26 - 3 msgs

[Jeff K. <kop...@um...>]

Thanks, Bob...that helped.  Got RLib compiled.  Had to do add the 
libraries for PHP and MySQL support.

Q1: do --enable-mysql, --enable-php, etc have to be given to get these 
features turned on?

Q2: Perl still doesn't get configured...complains it can't find the 
files, and I've installed every -dev package I can find for perl.  
Here's the message from the configure run:

checking for PERL files... configure: WARNING: PERL bindings are not 
going to be used

The PHP sample code crashes, but the C code works, and gives me 
results...happy-happy!

Thanks for the help before, it was key.

-Jeff. :)

The problem is you need to have the "devel" packages installed.

[Rlib-devel] pkg-config problems

[Jeff K. <kop...@um...>]

I'm having trouble getting this thing built, and I used to think it was 
only a problem with MacOSX, but now, its doing the same thing with 
Debian Linux.

Here's the last error I got when running ./configure :

> checking for libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.0... Package libxml-2.0 was not found 
> in the pkg-config search path.
> Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc'

I checked on the debian system and its got libxml2 version 2.6.11, 
which is more than current enough.

There aren't any special variables set, but the above libraries are 
located in /usr/lib, which should be a very standard place to be.

What am I doing wrong here?  Rlib looks like a great library, but if it 
doesn't compile, there's not much more to be done.

Alternatively, I'd love to see a set of binaries for both MacOSX and 
Debian linux.

Re: [Rlib-devel] RLIB 1.2.1 Patch

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Nice!

At first glace patch looks pretty good.  The XML Input looks pretty
good.. I don't see any real problems there hower I can't tell if
breaking will work @ first glance.

Output looks pretty good except things like pages across doesn't look
like it will work.  

As far as the auto* stuff.. I'll take a poke at it.  I can usually force
it into submission.

How hard would it be to fix the font finding stuff?  The hard coded font
stuff would be a downer.

This patch would be good for HEAD (1.3.x).. any chance you could rework
it for HEAD.. INPUT has not changed at all, OUTPUT however is chaning as
some of us @ SICOM are making graphing work.  Which leads to the next
question.. Would you be willing to sync the PSLIB stuff to what we're
doing w/ graphing??

If so I'd be happy to include it in rlib propper and give you guys
credit all that good stuff.

Also we have a copyright assignment thing
http://rlib.sicompos.com/copyright_form.pdf

Which basically says You give us copyright and we give it right back to
you on all your contributions. 

In other words, we don't have to drag you with us if we go to court to
defend the GPL, and we can use a dual license like Mozilla does for
commercial purposes. (Ximian, Novel, Sun, others do it also)

We would need Jeremy to sign it also.  I hope this won't be a problem
and if you need futher clarification let me know.

PS.  What brought this on??  Out of curiosity what are you using RLIB
for?

Again.. Thanks!

[Rlib-devel] RLIB 1.2.1 Patch

[Warren S. <wa...@wa...>]

Yeah, we know rlib 1.3.0 is out, but we started this batch beforehand.
So, without further delay, this patch adds a new xml-based input for
flat-file data and a PSLIB (pslib.sf.net)-based postscript output filter
for fully GPL pdf generation (using ps2pdf). The only problem is that
pslib is kind of retarded in it's font finding algorithm (compared to
clibpdf's) and the font is currently hard-coded to tex's courier 8-pt
font as installed by debian package tetex-extras. Other than that, it
works like a charm.

You may have issues building it, as for some reason, with my old version
of autotools, we couldn't get ENABLE_PSLIB in libsrc/Makefile.am to
trigger and ps.c doesn't get built.


Enjoy!

[Rlib-devel] Where RLIB is Going

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hey All,

I thought I would update you all on where RLIB's going.  The next major
change to RLIB is going to be able to do report "parts".  Which
basically means having more then one report in a report.

See the attached document on parts.

Also, we are going to add a "table" data source provider.  Which
basically means you will be able to pass RLIB a 2d array instead
of using a query if you want to.

Depending on how things go we might start some BASIC graphing support in
this release cycle.

Documentation:  Steve Tilden and Mike Roth will improve the RLIB
Documentation.

[Rlib-devel] Re: [Rlib-users] programming RLIB without datasource

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hi,

In c here's how it works

As you know RLIB support Mysql, postgresql, and ODBC (allowing like 20
other data sources) RLIB does this w/ an "input class" filter 

Here's the struct/class

struct input_filter {
  gpointer private;
  struct input_info info;
  gint (*input_close)(gpointer);
  gpointer (*new_result_from_query)(gpointer, gchar *);
  gint (*free)(gpointer);
  gint (*first)(gpointer, gpointer);
  gint (*next)(gpointer, gpointer);
  gint (*previous)(gpointer, gpointer);
  gint (*last)(gpointer, gpointer);
  gint (*isdone)(gpointer, gpointer);
  gchar * (*get_field_value_as_string)(gpointer, gpointer, gpointer);
  gpointer (*resolve_field_pointer)(gpointer, gpointer, gchar *);
  void (*free_result)(gpointer, gpointer);	
  gint (*set_encoding)(gpointer);
};

The second part of the magic is having a "query" or some real filter on
the data set that the input_filter operates on.  There is typically a 1
to N relationship between the input_filter and the queries.  Also, RLIB
has a lot of "object oriented" code, even though it is C.. so almost all
functions in this input_filter class take a "this" pointer..  Other
functions take a "this" pointer and a pointer to a result set

Most of the function are obvious, and if you look at mysql.c or
postgres.c you can see how they are implemented..  

Basically inside rlib the normal chain of events are:

1) Open the input_filter.. this is typically a custom job, and is done
differently for all databases.. so it's up to you to do it.. and in the
private * part of the input_filter hold connection info and other crap
you care about.

2) Pass it all the queries and *new_result_from_query will return a
pointer to A result set

3) RLIB compiles the XML into PCODE and resolves all fields from the XML
to the datasource/result sets.  The function *resolve_field_pointer
takes a char * field name and turns it into a direct access/ almost
direct access pointer.  In MYSQL the name gets turned into a col number.
In postgresql it gets turned into a field pointer.

4) RLIB spins in a loop through the main loop query.. basically.. First
the "first" function is called, then it keeps calling "next" until the
"isdone" function returns TRUE.  

WATCH OUT:  When RLIB hits a break it got there by calling NEXT and
seeing if things no longer match.  But RLIB will go PREVIOUS 1 row so
that the break footer fields reflect the correct row (Most Reporting
Engines don't do this BTW)  So you will need to keep at least a ONE ROW
CACHE as you spin though your data set.  Postgresql makes this easy,
MySQL is kinda easy, ODBC is not.. you have to do it your self.


5) *free_result is called for all the queries.  input_close is called,
then free is called (free your private stuff here) 

All Done.

Here's what I don't know

1) In PYTHON once it calls a "c" function can the "c" function go back
out and call a "python" function.  DO YOU KNOW?

2) I know SICOM has no plans to do this sorta PYTHON work for free (as
we currently don't need it and no one has offered to pay)  If you are of
the paying type and you want to use RLIB commercially then let me know
and I'll look into how long it would take me or Chet

[Rlib-devel] Re: [Rlib-users] programming RLIB without datasource

[Farryp <fa...@co...>]

Pls,
send me the info.

How long will it take to write a python binding to support this option for
python ?

best regards

[Rlib-devel] Re: [Rlib-users] programming RLIB without datasource

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Yes,

We (SICOM) Do some of the same things w/ one of our particular projects.
However, you need to use C.  If your C is good then I'll explain a bit
more how it works
